As the title says, some images load for half a second, then turn into a white "broken image" icon. If you then tell connect to "open external" it opens the image in a web browser, and that works just fine.

It's just the weirdest thing. The image loads, you see it for a split second before it changes. This happens frequently enough to be annoying. I'm not sure if it's just a certain file type or what. Maybe it's webp's?

Here's an example post that is doing it for me: https://lemmy.zip/post/8235310

Plastic seals food, sterile medical implements, medicine, beverages, etc... it's seems like plastic is used as a way to seal things safely. Post pandemic rising, I see even more. My work used to be have plastic utensils in the cafeteria, for example, an already wasteful thing. Now, post-2020, every fork, knife, and spoon is individually wrapped in a plastic wrapper. I feel like the more my desire to escape plastic intensifies, the more plastic I see all around me everywhere.

How can we get away from plastic as a safety layer?

To me, it seems objectively easier to pull into a parking space forward and then back out of the space when you are ready to leave. You don't have to line up with the lines while driving backwards, and it's easier to keep from hitting other cars as well. So why back in? To me, the only advantage I can think of is that you can get out quicker, technically.

Edit: I do not need driving instruction, just wondered why. The reasoning.

Except /b/ was never good.

This is the real energy, you know it.

HERE COME DAT BOI

Ichigo: chases Ulquiorra upwards and past the blue sky

Ichigo: Wait, are we above the canopy of Los Noches?

Ulquiorra: Yes, by Lord Aizen's command, two things are not allowed within Los Noches. The first is Gran Rey Cero which is only for Espada. The other is a sword release of an Espada of rank 4 or higher, both of which could destroy Los Noches.

Ulquiorra: Releases Resurreccion Imprison Murcielago!

Ichigo: Nope. Cuts hole in floor, drops back into Los Noches

Ulquiorra: What! What are you doing!?

Ichigo: Tauinting and slapping his ass Come on, chicken! Bauk bauk bauk come on!

It's almost 2 am and I'm in bed and I still keep hearing pop pop boom outside. Is it that fun? Seriously. Also, what's a better sub for this kind of post? Inb4 mastodon.

I have a friend who will look for any opportunity to buy his friends something. He isn't wealthy. He doesn't make a lot of money. He just has this obsession with buying things for his friends.Not even local friends, but friends online. Steam games, alcohol, pizzas, gift cards, books, ebooks, comics, even just randomly throwing cash at you somehow. It was neat at first but it's becoming awkward. He has even admitted to me that it's 100% selfish and he only does it because buying things for people makes him feel good and he wants that dopamine hit. It's like when you buy yourself some stupid shit for no reason, but he subjects his friends to it CONSTANTLY. I would not even be here asking about this if it weren't a constant, multiple times daily occurrence. He wants to buy anyone he knows anything he can afford whether they want him to or not at any time. Having given him my address in the past was a mistake. He hoards shit FOR ME. I'll get random shit in the mail. "HEY DID YOU GET YHE THING? DO YOU LIKE IT?" even if I do, I kind of don't want to tell him. I don't want to encourage him. But we have yet to find a way to make him stop, so encouragement is the least problem.. we need to somehow DISCOURAGE him. which is hard. Especially when he gets drunk. Which is FREQUENT. Purchases are often made while he is drunk.

Dunno what to do or how to try and make him chill.

Sorting old pony image folder and finding places I loved on reddit in lemmy land. It's good to see 196!
